Smallholder Farmer

ps: Hello everyone, this is a supplementary update, in July, sorry, the update is quite irregular! August will definitely improve! thanks for your support.

Yuyue went on to say: "Grandpa Zeng came from a long distance today, so he is naturally tired, so the soup served today is a refreshing chicken soup. After skimming off the oil, boil some bean sprouts, which is the best solution!"

The cooks suddenly realized: "So that's it, we just said it. It can be seen that we have been cooking for the sake of cooking. It's good to put anything in this dish. Today I saw you stir-fry the tender beef and chili. Just put less, it can be seen that I am thinking of the old man coming from far away, just because I am afraid of getting angry, third girl, we have been educated, and we will learn to figure it out slowly in the future, who is this meal for today? Yes, subtract what should be subtracted, add what should be added..."

"Several aunts are also masters in cooking, this is really good, I have also been taught!"

Yuyue smiled and said, without resting her hands, she dug a few small holes in the tofu block in her hand, and then squeezed the stuffed minced meat into small balls and stuffed them in. Yuyue also chopped up the shiitake mushrooms in her space and put them in it to enhance the flavor.

An hour later, in the big dining room of "Fenghe Courtyard", there were Grandpa Zeng and more than twenty guards brought by him. These guards were obviously different from the ones brought by my uncle, and all of them were dressed like senior generals.

Yuyue didn't cook many dishes, only enough to be placed on the table in front of Grandpa Zeng. On the other tables, only three or four dishes were made by Yuyue herself, such as the chicken soup with bean tip and the grilled lamb chops , stir-fried vegetables, stuffed tofu, this tender fried beef, Kung Pao chicken and so on. It was only in front of Mrs. Gao that Yuyue made it, and the rest were made by the cooks.

Fortunately, the grape fruit wine made by Yuyue just came out of the kiln, and everyone had a big glass, which made everyone happy.

Seeing that Yuyue was fine at home and had nothing to do, Mrs. Gao decided to go back to Beijing immediately. Anyway, he didn't want to see that careless granddaughter. As for Fan's mansion, Mrs. Gao said. I don't need to talk about the things I passed by, so as not to worry about my in-laws coming back. Wait for the next time I transfer to Yongqing County and then come to Fan Mansion to stay for a few more days. Starting from Aunt Qi Shecao, everyone nodded in obedience.

Mrs. Gao packed a cart full of all kinds of food that she liked, and brought a list from Yuyue, asking for such strange prescriptions as live coral, live pearls, and live snow lotus. I went back to Beijing happily. I made up my mind, if I don't have these things in the palace, I will look for them myself, the medicine I took, really seems to be useful, the medicine I took yesterday. Today I feel energetic and not tired at all. usually. After a long journey to a place, I always suffer from insomnia at night, but last night, I slept really well. I must take more effective medicines. My in-law's beard is still black, which is too enviable.

Don't come suddenly. Old Mr. Gao, who was leaving in a hurry, turned around and talked about Songjia Village.

This birthday banquet was really lively, and it was also the happiest time for the four ancestors of the Fan family. (One of them) said that it was a banquet for good friends from ten miles and eight villages. Sincerely, there were village chiefs and clans from almost nine villages. old. In other words, when these good friends from ten miles and eight villages were sitting in Yuyue and Jinyan's original courtyard, drinking tea and chatting in each room, Grandma Eight's family came to make a fuss for a while, under the coercion of Miss Gao , walked away in despair, and the patriarch was not afraid of making his family ugly because of this. The fact that Yuhuan retired without reason really had too much impact, and he could only sacrifice the reputation of the family to preserve the village.

A few people who have been ordered to chat with the guests, including the second ancestor and the third ancestor, don't need to help them cover up what Fan Laoba's family did before, just say it!

The birthday banquet of the fourth patriarch had three seats, that is, three days. The surrounding villages that received invitations, including the town's famous people, all came, and several landlords also came. There are others who are comparable, but they are still the largest landowners. This time, the two little girls beside Ms. Gao were also photographed by Landlord Song of Songjia Village. I inquired with Ms. Gao. After the other party's child and knowing the other party's family situation, there was a tacit understanding. After a few days, a matchmaker was found for a kiss. While Du Landlord was still a little bit guilty, Xiao Du Landlord quickly sent back a message that made him feel refreshed. Great news to cheer you up.

"Father, I fell in love with the girl Yuwan next to Mrs. Fan, can you?"

Of course it is possible. Landlord Du has appointed a girl from the Fan family, which is known to everyone in ten miles and eight villages. Now that he has retired, only a few close relatives know about it. Thinking about explaining why his wife is not a daughter of the Fan family, Master Du will Headache, now that my son has fallen in love with a girl from the Fan family, who is still by Mrs. Fan's side, how much work will be saved!

"Then do you know that Mrs. Fan is willing to..."

"I want to ask Dad what he means, and then go to Butler Xu to ask for an idea. Dad, do you think this is good?"

"Well, you bastard, did you get involved in this matter of marrying a daughter-in-law? Maybe I'm going to inquire about it for you!"

...

Xu Lu pretended to be in a difficult situation, but his stomach burst into laughter: "Master Du, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, after all, you also know that although we don't want to see Mr. Fan Ba's house in our house, but seriously, Mr. It was also adopted by the eighth master's family. No matter if they are right or wrong, we can't say anything. Your family originally booked a girl from the eighth master's family. It's a bit inappropriate for our wife to come forward to fight for your son. In this way, you go Looking for another Iceman, I think my wife will not stop it, besides, I have also heard from my wife many times that your son is pure and kind, literate and talented, I like it very much!"

"So, if we go to Fan Wuye's house to talk about marriage, it shouldn't make Madam unhappy?"

"How is this possible, Mr. Du, you are thinking too badly. If your family becomes in-laws with the fifth master's family, Madam will be happy. Miss Wan'er is Madam's serious niece. Compared with the relative you ordered earlier, I don’t know how close the relationship between our two families is…”

So properly, the Du family invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and gave them three gifts, which were more than twice as heavy as the ones given to Yuhuan. Mrs. Gao was also grateful that Yu Wan could win over the little landlord Du, and added 20 acres of land and two small shops to add makeup. The red treasure set and the jade set have become Yuwan's precious treasures.

Someone who didn't know the inside story came to ask Landlord Du if he had retired from the marriage. He had a good introduction from his side. Landlord Du looked ignorant: "How could it be possible to retire from the marriage? I don't know how good our two relatives are. Fan Wu Lord, you don't know how kind of a person she is... That girl, I managed to find her with a lantern, how could she withdraw her marriage..."

All of a sudden, the mountains and rivers came back again, and people who didn't know the inside story were dizzy. Master Du quickly vetoed the fact that his son had withdrawn his marriage. I feel that my niece ordered a divorced one, so I don't mention the past!

In this way, under the cover-up of the patriarch and all those who are interested, a big storm that damaged the reputation of the Fan family girl subsided.

These are all things that happened ten or so days after the Fourth Patriarch Fan brought his granddaughters-in-law back to the village to set up a banquet. Now Patriarch Fan has specially assigned a job to the grandma: not to mention watching the movements of the old Ba family of Fan from time to time, but Be careful, and if you find something inappropriate, you must pay attention to pass a message.

The grandma was also in a cold sweat. Although the days of my grandchildren and grandchildren were much better, they saw that the future was just right. Yuhuan made a fuss about it. Yuyao's marriage next year was almost disgraced by Yuhuan. Naturally Willingly took over this important task, the eldest grandma's family kept an eye on the movements of the eighth grandma's family. He really made several contributions to the Fan family village.

It is said that after the ancestor returned to "Fan Mansion", time passed quickly, and the Chinese New Year was approaching. The old man Gao sent a letter, inviting the ancestor of the Fan family to go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, and this Yu Yue will still stay in Beijing after the Chinese New Year. The other two great-granddaughters, Yuzhu, who was not engaged, stayed in Beijing with her younger sister. Because the older sister was going to get married, it was worthwhile to stay. After the new year, she came back with her ancestor.

Miss Gao received the letter, discussed with Ding Xiang for a while, and then came to find her grandfather.

"Grandpa, why don't you go to Beijing to live for a few months. Xu Lu will take people here, and then renovate and repair it. At least the guest room needs to have a yard. In the future, the Du family, the Ren family, and these close relatives will come to see it, and it will be fine. , and Yulin is getting married soon, and she hasn't been to the capital yet, so it would be nice to go there once before getting married..."

"I didn't say I didn't want to, but living in my in-law's house feels a bit..."

"Grandpa, you old man was worried about this. In the capital city, I set up a Zhuangzi for Yuyue. In the city, the two brothers and sisters also have a courtyard for each person. It is not far away. It is only half an hour away from Gaofu."

Living in the grandson's and great-grandson's house, the ancestor's worries were much less, and it was agreed immediately to go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Jinyan came back with great difficulty, but he heard that he was going to take him to the capital in the last ten days, and he was unwilling to die:

"Grandpa, mother, I don't want to go, aunt, why does Mrs. Gu still give me a review here?"

"I've become a nerd! Master Gu discussed this with me. You have learned almost the same from the county school. Master Gu said, I will write a recommendation letter for you, and my uncle also entrusted someone. This time you will prepare For a while, take the exam at an academy under the Imperial College, and if you pass, you can study in this "Sage Academy"! Three years later, according to Mr. Gu's idea, take the provincial exam."

"I still don't want to go, I'm used to listening to Master Gu's lectures!"

"What a brain, I heard Yue'er said that you are also a child who is awake, why are you looking at you in a daze at this time? Didn't you know that Gu Shanzhang was a prostitute? This time he is willing to let you go back to Beijing , it must be that he is also motivated, if he will try this time, he will submit a post for reference, isn't this just..."

"Ah, I understand, mother, everything is up to your arrangement!" Jinyan scratched his head and laughed. It's great that the master is willing to take the exam. (To be continued.
